It is wonderful what you can find when you are looking for something else.

Believe in Yourself to be Successful

"Why do some entrepreneurs do incredibly well and the others do just okay? Why do some firms keep on expanding and others just barely hang on to one location?"

T is for temperance, tenacity, and transience. It is for temperance because time must be carefully and wisely budgeted, managed, and leveraged. It is for tenacity because we need to stick with something through boredom and hard work if we are going to see it through. It is for transience because it is passing by never to return.
